Satisfactory Academic Progress SAP

Specific requirements for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than scholastic standards. In addition to scholastic standards which are explained elsewhere in this catalog, financial aid recipients are also subject to the following Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress. Specific information is available at the college Office of Student Financial Aid.

Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations (CFR 668.32(f) and 668.34) require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid.

Specific requirements for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than Scholastic Standards. Federal regulations state that Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment, regardless of whether or not aid was received. The student must meet the following minimum standards in order to receive financial aid.

I. Evaluation of Financial Aid Eligibility 

  1. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) are applied at least once per year, beginning on or about June 1st to determine the eligibility for the following academic year.
  2. The evaluation period will be based on attendance in the immediate prior Spring, Fall, Summer term (example: for 2008-2009 academic year, academic progress will be evaluated on Spring 2008, Fall 2007, and Summer 2007).
  3. Credits evaluated will include credits attempted at the evaluating school and courses funded through consortium agreement.
  4. Students who do not meet the SAP will be notified. The student may follow the appeal process or the reinstatement procedures as outlined in V and VI.

[Back to Top]

III. Maximum Time Frame Eligibility

  1. Students who have attempted more than 150% of the credits required for their program of study are not considered to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress and, therefore, are ineligible for financial aid funds. 
  2. All evaluated transfer credits will be included when determining Maximum Time Frame Eligibility.
  3. A student with a Bachelor’s degree or higher will be considered to have exhausted Maximum Time Frame Eligibility. An exception to this rule occurs if the student is enrolled in a state-approved teacher certification program.

  5. Reinstatement procedures as outlined in VI are not applicable to Maximum Time Frame Eligibility. 
     

IV. Repeated, Audited, Consortium, Remedial Courses, Summer Sessions

  • Audited courses, non-credit courses, credit by examination, and any credit for prior learning option (as outlined in the catalog) are excluded when determining eligibility for financial aid. 
  • Courses funded through a consortium agreement are included in determining academic progress.
  • All attempted remedial credits will be included when evaluating SAP. (A maximum of 30 remedial credit hours, excluding ESL courses, may be funded.)
  • Enrollment in any or all summer sessions within the same calendar year will be considered one term.

[Back to Top]

V. Appeal Process

A student who has lost financial aid eligibility due to extenuating circumstances may appeal. 

  • Extenuating circumstances that may be considered include: personal illness or accident, serious illness or death within immediate family, or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the student.
  • All appeals must be in writing to the Financial Aid Office where the student is applying for aid and include appropriate documentation.
  • Examples of documentation could include an obituary notice, divorce decree, or a letter from a physician, attorney, social services agency, parole officer, etc.
  • The condition or situation must be resolved which will allow the student the ability to complete course work successfully or an appeal will not be granted.
  • The outcome of an appeal may include approval, a probationary period, or denial.
  • A student will be notified in writing of the results of the appeal, and of any restrictions or conditions pertaining to their appeal.

[Back to Top]
 

VI. Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility 

A student who has lost financial aid eligibility may be reinstated after the student has taken (without federal funds) at least six credit hours in a semester, passed all attempted credit hours, and meets minimum cumulative GPA requirements. 

  • If the student attempts more than six hours, the student will be evaluated on all attempted credit hours within that term.
  • Classes taken at other colleges will not be taken into consideration for reinstatement purposes.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid when this condition has been met.

Refunds and Repayments

In accordance with federal regulations (CFR 668.22), a student may be required to repay federal financial aid funds if they completely withdraw, are withdrawn, or fail to earn a passing grade from all classes during a semester. Further information is available at the college Office of Student Financial Aid. This could affect a student’s ability to receive Financial Aid in the future at any school.  For a student receiving Financial Aid, also see Appendix S-7 for Withdrawal procedures.

Award Amount and level of Enrollment Award amount is determined, in part, on the level of enrollment. Federal student aid recipients are advised to register at the same time for all classes they intend to take during a semester to maximize award. Some federal aid may not be awarded for classes added at a later date. Contact the college Office of Student Financial Aid for more information.

VETERANS SERVICES (AR 2.9) VSA

The Maricopa Community Colleges’ veterans services offices act as liaisons with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Each program must be approved by the State of Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services. Students may be eligible to receive educational benefits if they are registered in courses that apply to the student’s approved program. Application forms, counseling, advisement and tutoring are available for students who are eligible for veteran’s educational benefits.

Students applying for veteran’s educational benefits should allow eight to ten weeks before receiving benefits. The amount of benefits awarded is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and is based on the number of credit hours or clock hours for which a student is enrolled and the length of the enrollment period for each course.

[Back to Top]

Veteran’s benefits available: 

  • Chapter 30 - Montgomery GI Bill 
  • Chapter 31 - Vocational Rehabilitation (separately served through the local VA office)
  • Chapter 32 - VEAP Program
  • Chapter 35 - Survivors and dependents of
    deceased/100% disabled veterans
  • Chapter 1606 - Montgomery GI Bill, Selected Reserve

It is the student’s responsibility to notify the office that serves veterans at their campus regarding any change in enrollment, address, program of study, enrollment at another institution, or any other change that may impact their veteran’s educational benefits.

Those students receiving benefits must follow the VA academic progress policy to continue to receive benefits.

Academic Progress Policy for Students Receiving Veteran’s Educational Benefits

Department of Veterans Affairs regulations require that all persons using any type of veteran educational assistance program be making satisfactory academic progress toward achievement of their educational objective (program of study). A student who does not meet the minimum standards (see above) will be placed on probation for a maximum of two (2) consecutive semesters.

At this point, if satisfactory academic progress has not been demonstrated, veteran educational benefits will be terminated. Benefits may be resumed when the student raises the cumulative grade point average to the required minimum standards or demonstrates the ability to meet these standards through the approval of a written appeal. For appeal procedures, contact the office that serves veterans at your campus.

For additional details and information regarding veteran’s educational benefits, contact the office that serves veterans at your campus.

FINANCIAL AID OFFICE  FAO

General Information

The Financial Aid Office at South Mountain Community College administers and coordinates aid funds from federal, state, institutional and private sources. Awards are made on the basis of financial need. Need is the difference between the cost of attending SMCC and the resources an applicant has available. Those resources include, but are not limited to, the following: expected parental contribution, student contribution (through savings and employment) social security, veterans’ and other benefits available to the student.

In order to assess need, all applicants must submit financial information concerning themselves and their parents. This information is submitted by a free application form (FAFSA).

Students are encouraged to file this application electronically through: www.fafsa.ed.gov. However, paper applications are also available in high school counseling offices and the SMCC Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office uses this information in determining need and eligibility after verifying the information in the Financial Aid Office.

In assessing an applicant’s need, all available resources are subtracted from the budget. For example: 

Academic Year Budget (commuter) $12,018
Parent’s Contribution $  2,000
Student’s Contribution $  1,000
Financial Aid Eligibility (need) $  9,018

Priority Deadline

The process of applying for financial aid requires time and attention. The priority filing date for SMCC financial aid applicants is April 1. The earlier a student applies for aid, the better his/her options are for obtaining funding.

  1. Successfully complete academic assessment testing if non-high school graduate.
  2. Enroll for those classes that apply to a specific program of study leading to a degree or certificate.

Payment of Award

The Business Office is responsible for processing and distributing all funds. Students who have met the application priority date of April 1 should expect to have their award credited to cover school expenses by the start of the regular fall term.

Students having awards completed by December 1 should have their awards processed by the start of regular spring semester registration.
